Following yesterday’s tip-off about Graeme Lee, there is more transfer news. As I wrote in yesterday’s post, “football contracts tend to run until 30th June so it may be that we will get some news this week when City are able to make their moves on out-of-contract players” and here we go:
The T&A reports that City have signed Graeme Lee, goalkeeping target Rob Burch has joined Lincoln (though God only knows why), Lee wants to be a leader in the Wetherall mould and City have signed Paul McLaren, “League One’s most creative player last season”. McLaren managed 13 assists last season in League One, so let’s hope he can at least match that tally this coming season.
So far this pre-season, City have signed Lee, Arnison, Brandon and McLaren from teams in higher divisions. After reading the worries articulated by fans, I’m pleased we have some positive news and I think that the new signings should improve the squad. All we need now is a ‘keeper, another midfielder and maybe one more striker and we should just about have a squad of players capable of challenging for a play-off position. Hopefully over the next couple of weeks we will sign more players of the calibre of Lee, Arnison, Brandon and McLaren.
